The Real Madrid thrashed Elche at the Bernabéu and secured three more points in the race for the LaLiga title. The match took a decisive turn in the final minutes of the first half with a volley goal by Rüdiger and another spectacular goal by Valverde. In the second half, Huijsen scored the 3-0 with a header following an assist from Yáñez, and the visitors reduced the deficit. The best was saved for last with the legendary goal by Arda Güler from his own half, a type of goal that hadn't been seen in our stadium for a long time.

Our team started dominantly and went into halftime with a two-goal advantage. The first came in the 39th minute. Vini Jr. took a short indirect free kick, and Valverde unleashed a powerful shot that was deflected by Dituro. The rebound fell to Brahim, whose header clearance by Pedrosa landed at Rüdiger, who sent it into the net with a beautiful volley. The 2-0 came in the 44th minute with a spectacular move by Valverde. He received the ball at the edge of the box, feigned a left-footed shot, and placed the ball in the top corner with his right. The Uruguayan has now scored five goals in his last three matches.

The third goal of the night
Just after the start of the second half, the third goal could have arrived. Brahim emerged victorious from a duel with Chust, the last opposing player, and went one-on-one with Dituro but sent his shot over the bar in the 48th minute. As the minutes ticked by, the Real Madrid scored the third. Yáñez provided the assist, and Huijsen scored in the 66th minute with a header. Twelve minutes later, Gonzalo had the chance to increase the lead in a one-on-one with the goalkeeper, who made a great save.

Spectacular goal by Arda Güler
In the 85th minute, Elche scored to make it 3-1. The goal came from Manuel Ángel, who, in an attempt to clear the ball, accidentally sent it into our net. But the best was yet to come. Arda Güler received the ball in his own half in the 88th minute and produced a moment of magic, scoring a genius goal, the likes of which haven't been seen in our stadium for a long time. An astonishing left-footed shot that sealed Real Madrid's victory against Elche.
